This was not half bad. I am a huge fan of the 70s version and I didn't expect much from this new remake, but it succeeded in the end. Check it out if your interested and it should look really good on Blu-Ray disc.

Heard bad things about it, but it did look promising when I saw the trailers. May rent it just for Kidman and Craig being in it.

BTW, when the movie entered reshoots, the original director wasn't on hand to helm the reshoots, so Silver hired the Wachowskis to rewrite the script and James McTeigue to direct. Both of them are uncredited, to my knowledge.

Yep... no deleted scenes anywhere in sight. There might still be a possibility that it will surface eventually.

But I think the reason because it bombed and tested poorly is because of the reshoots to make it more mainstream (such as the action scenes near the end of the film). I think people might have welcomed Hirschbeigel's original cut better, though.

I was a huge fan of all of the older versions, I even turned by sons into fans when the originals were relased on DVD. This is at a minimum a rent for me, if I like it I will add this one to my ever growing collection for certain.

Disgusting artwork, reminds me of The Real McCoy or one of these poundshop DVDs from Prism Leisure, with titles like Blood Goblin or Monkey Ninja Assassin. Is Craig's face meant to be blurry like that?

I think I like this remake over the 1978(?) version. I seem to be the ony person who loves a plot where a group of humans battle millions of others that's why I love these kinds of movies. The remake is like a blockbuster movie while the 1978 version is a slow moving, explain this and that scenorio. The remake knows you've seen at least one version of the film and skips all of the explaining parts and go right into the action, which why I liked it. It's not slow, dull, or boring. I'm glad WB put the effort to have a lot of special features. I'm definately going to by this! A very entertaining movie!

this is the 3rd remake or the 4th Body Snatchers movie...theyre making these as often as Anchor Bay releases Evil Dead.. Why cant they just make a a sequel to it as opposed to a remake thats been remade before.. Maybe the pods got the writers

I actually liked it and love all the body snatchers movies the best is from 78, second is the original, and a tie for this & the 93 version. I would have loved to see the studio hated "original" version. I heard the director was actually fired due to warner bros. not being happy with the cut he turned in. As it stands it could have been better if some plot lines were carried out instead of forgetting them and throwing action in, I think that was more of a fault of the dual directors and combining all the re-shoots with original material.
